Evolve
I struggle to stay out it for more than a few hours
I'm done ignoring the ravenous thorns gnawing at my skins
Layer by layer I'm stripped until the sweet is rendered sour
And in my stupor I always let myself get drowned again
It taints the pool of relationships that I used to enjoy
And chases my mind wherever it is stationed at the time
No matter the task or distraction I'm fighting to employ
I end a hardened convict bluntly repeating the same crime
It's part of human nature or it's a virulent disease
Regardless of the reason the action never gets excused
With elation just beyond the door however I may please
Whether I'm an animal or ill the chance will be abused
For discipline in my life and a stronger need in my soul
I'll excersize for the thousandth time to move past this challenge
Although I have a fickle heart and my word is far from gold
I'll fail everything if I never evolve past what I am
